Effectiveness of breast electrical impedance imaging for clinically suspicious breast lesions

Breast Imaging using Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)

Diagnostic value of breast ultrasound in mammography BI-RADS 0 and clinically indeterminate or suspicious of malignancy breast lesions.

BACKGROUND/AIM Not only that ultrasound makes the difference between cystic and solid changes in breast tissue, as it was the case at the beginning of its use, but it also makes the differential diagnosis in terms of benign-malignant. The aim of this study was to assess the role of sonography in the diagnosis of palpable breast masses according to the American College of Radiology Ultrasonograp...

Second-look ultrasonography for MRI-detected suspicious breast lesions in patients with breast cancer

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of second-look ultrasonography (US) for investigating additional suspicious lesions detected on preoperative staging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for breast cancer. METHODS Between September 2008 and August 2010, 1,970 breast MRIs were performed at our medical institution for the evaluation of breast cancer before surgery. Second-lo...

Diffusion-weighted imaging of suspicious (BI-RADS 4) breast lesions: stratification based on histopathology

OBJECTIVE To test the use of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in stratifying suspicious breast lesions (BI-RADS 4), correlating them with histopathology. We also investigated the performance of DWI related to the main enhancement patterns (mass and non-mass) and tested its reproducibility. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-six patients presented 92 lesions during the sampling period. Two independ...

Diagnosis and Surgical Treatment of Suspicious Nonpalpable Breast Lesions and Early Breast Cancer

The purposes of the present research were to evaluate (1) the value of ultrasonographically guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (US-FNAB) in nonpalpable suspicious breast lesions, (2) the preoperative use of methylene blue staining in nonpalpable galactographically suspicious breast lesions, (3) the determinants of positive histologic margins and residual cancer in wire-guided biopsy (WGB) of ...
